flash title/logo header on variable-width site

Most flash title/logo headers are for fixed-width websites. What about variable-width sites?

The only solution I can think of is centering a fixed-width flash movie. Are there any solutions for making full use of the website's width?

If any of you have any examples of flash headers on a variable-width site, I would love to see them.

Another solution I just thought of is an extra wide flash (to accomodate all resolutions) with overflow hidden, as shown with an image (not a flash movie) here in #5:

Only I cannot figure out how you would center it for all resolutions.

When you embed your flash movie set it to be 100% wide instead of a pixel dimension

Then use the following tutorial to set noScale and content aligned top left. Also make sure to use a callback like Stage.onResize(){} to make sure that everything scales when someone changes their browser window size

an example of a stretching header where I used something similar to that tutorial is here http://www.liveactionset.org

graphixboy, excellent.

Before I jump into it, just one question: Can the flash movie "know" the width and compensate for it? Can you have objects aligned to the right, and have them adjust with the adjustment of the screen browser width?

Sure, Alignment in Flash is all about math.

For example to align a movieclip called "myClip" to the right of the stage (assuming that the registration point is in the top left of myClip)



You don't really need the rounding but it forces a whole number so you land on a pixel
